All three manufacturers consider a system "sold" when it's bought by the middleman, so MS considers the systems in best buy's warehouses and on the floor to be "sold", which is true from their point of view, but is not the definition of "sold"="in the trunk heading home" that is commonly assumed.<BR/><BR/>For Nintendo, the lag between "sold to middleman", which is basically when it leaves their warehouse in Seattle on a best buy truck, is very close to "in somebody's trunk heading home". Not so for Sony or Microsoft.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01783201977051834830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871003.post-59084091442477198512007-03-19T16:43:00.000-05:002007-03-19T16:43:00.000-05:00There's a couple-week lag between shipment and sal...There's a couple-week lag between shipment and sale, due to the boat time. There's plenty of anecdotal evidence that the 360 is only at about 8-9M sold right now.<BR/><BR/>Nintendo seems to have hit this one out of the ballpark. And Sony has managed to do the unthinkable. This is gonna be one for the business schools, next chapter after "new coke".Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01783201977051834830noreply@blogger.com
